Top Ten Romantic

I’d been dead a month before my family even noticed. It wasn’t concern that brought them to that realization. It was my silence after the so-called “dinner” with Adam Rossi, the infamous mafia boss. My father scoffed like always,“She probably shacked up with that bastard. Too busy spreading her legs to pick up the damn phone.” My sister texted me a photo of them smiling under the Christmas tree, ornaments twinkling like nothing was wrong. Bitch, she wrote. You better talk Mr. Rossi into working with Dad, or you might as well be dead already. And my mother—once the softer one—was now colder than the frost on their windows. “I told you, we should’ve sent Gia to charm Mr. Rossi. Serena always screws things up.” They didn’t think I would die. Not until they found my body—broken, rotten, and forgotten—in Adam Rossi’s basement.

Nora Delmas, 21 Jahre alt, Master-Studentin der Literatur, verbirgt hinter ihrer Ruhe eine wachsende Besessenheit für ihren Professor für Literaturtheorie, Hugo Vanel, 42 Jahre alt, ein Mann von ernster Schönheit, mit einer ruhigen Stimme und einem verwirrenden Blick. Jede Vorlesung wird für sie zu einem stillen Spielplatz: Sie will ihn erreichen, ihn zum Verzweifeln bringen, ihn besitzen. Sie übertreibt nie, aber immer genug: ein zu kurzer Rock, um harmlos zu sein, ein Blick, der eine Sekunde zu lange dauert, brillant formulierte Antworten im Unterricht, um seine Aufmerksamkeit zu erregen. Hugo, klarsehend, ahnt die Falle. Er versucht, Abstand zu halten, aber der Riss öffnet sich langsam. Eines Abends, in seinem Büro, unter dem Vorwand eines Termins, um über ihre Thesis zu sprechen, gerät alles außer Kontrolle. Der Verstand weicht zurück, die Stille wird dicht. Ein Atemzug. Ein Blick. Und das Verbotene wird überschritten. So beginnt eine geheime, sinnliche und gefährliche Beziehung, zwischen leeren Fluren, versteckten Treppen und Hotelzimmern, die weit vom Campus entfernt sind. Aber Nora will mehr. Und Hugo weiß es. Denn die Gerüchte entstehen schnell, in den Gängen einer Fakultät, wo alles bekannt ist, ohne jemals ausgesprochen zu werden...

Ich war gefangen, gefangen in einer Gefährtenbindung, die ich hasste. Würde ich jemals ihrem Griff entkommen? „Ich, Than Sable, Alpha des Bernsteinwüstenrudels, weise dich, Kaia Glace, als meine Luna zurück.“ Ich erinnerte mich an seine grausamen, schneidenden Worte, als wären es erst gestern gewesen. Unsere Gefährtenbindung existierte nicht. Das war eine Lüge. Sie existierte sehr wohl, aber Than erlaubte sich nicht, mir nahezukommen, geschweige denn, mit mir allein in einem Raum zu sein. Es war, als wäre ich ihm ein Ekel. Er machte mich zu nichts – zum Schatten einer Gefährtin, und ich hasste ihn dafür. Ich konnte nicht so weiterleben. Warten… Ich war Kaia Glace, die rechtmäßige Luna des Bernsteinwüstenrudels. Doch mein Gefährte, Alpha Than, weigerte sich, mich an seiner Seite herrschen zu lassen. Ich fühlte mich von der Gefährtenbindung betrogen, von meinem eigenen Gefährten unerwünscht. Jahre hatte ich damit verbracht, seine Liebe zu gewinnen – gesehen zu werden… Aber wie konnte ich das, wenn er eine andere hatte… Ich konnte nicht bleiben. Es war nicht mehr sicher für mich oder mein ungeborenes Kind. Ein Kind, das durch Gewalt gezeugt wurde. Ich musste gehen… weglaufen und meinen Vater finden. Er war mein einziger Rettungsanker. Allerdings wurde er zuletzt beim Feindesrudel gesehen, dem Dunkelphantom-Rudel. Ein berüchtigtes Rudel mit einem kalten, berechnenden Alpha, der nichts von Außenseitern hielt. Es hieß, die, die das Rudel betraten, wurden nie wieder gesehen. Doch ich hatte keine Wahl… Ich musste ins Feindesrudel, um mich meiner Gefährtenbindung zu entledigen. Doch dort begegnete ich einem anderen – einem anderen, der mich demselben trügerischen Spiel der Gefährtenbindung auslieferte.

"Do you know how lucky you are?" he answered her question with his own. His voice was low and husky as he leaned his face closer, teasing her. Her breathing hitched and she tiptoed as if it could help avoid his hot breath. "What do you mean?" she tried to back her head more into the wall but it was a lost cause. The back of her head was already banging into the hard surface. It was causing an unneeded headache to form. "I mean, don't you know how many women would like to be in your place right now? Yet, you're rejecting me,” "Who said I'm rejecting you? I said I wanted my own room!” "That's the same as rejecting me babe," Chris whispered as he blew her ear, making Jihyun shiver. His words were confusing, but when they registered in her brain, she huffed and slammed her head on his side. Dumbfounded, he looked down at her in confusion as he held her hands tighter, “Dont babe me!” she glared at him and regretted it soon as he had her stare. *** When Chris was stuck between meeting his ex-fiancee and keeping his cool in front of his family, he chose the easy road. He forced his ever-loyal secretary to be his fake girlfriend for ten days. Simple. Easier said than done. Jihyun never wanted to curse at her boss, but bringing her to his family event and making her lie to their faces about being in love with him? It almost drove her off the edge. A disaster! One that she would never ask for.
